Thunderbird does not download email. I get a message that the password isn't working. I do not know how to change or alter password. I have an ATT account for email/internet services, and my email comes through Yahoo.

If you are connecting through the AT&T servers, use a secure mail key in place of the password in TB. Remove the password from Saved Passwords in Preferences, restart TB, enter the key when asked for a password.
